15-08-07, 01:08 PM

Just seen a 2004 triumph daytona on Ebay with 2000 miles on clock in yellow in a classified ad for £1600, emailed the seller asking why so cheap and he replied' need the money quick, might be a bargain for some brave soul there..or possibly not. Item no. 330156284996. Its based in manchester with 27 days left to run.
p.s sorry for no link direct to auction, crap at these things

Oh wow that's cheap. A real bargain. So my 2005 650 is worth peanuts

hmmmm, no feedback either. NOT recomended. but then again, you never know, he may well be genuine. if you advertise something on ebay as a classified ad, its just really advertising, like autotrader.
would be a good buy though.

also, tax is about to run out! http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/Evl...vent=link.next

Stewie, it's definitely iffy! Check the photos of the bike in the auction, specifially the one showing the left-hand side of the bike, then look in the background - photo taken outside a dealer called Bulldog Triumph in Twyford, which is nowhere near Manchester!

I looked up their website and lo-and-behold, the same bike is listed for sale in their used bikes (click on the 'used sales' link, 2nd advert down on the page that loads) - same details, same photos, vastly different price & location.

I wouldn't touch it with someone else's bargepole!!

EDIT: posted at same time as pmapp - seems he found a direct link to the ad I'm talking about!
